La Petite Carmen is an abridged version of Bizet’s Carmen, reducing the opera to its emotional roots. Instead of the large tapestry of Spain, bullfights and gypsies, we focus on the people and the choices they make that lead to tragedy. Carmen herself not so much a “bird of fancy”, but more a woman making all the wrong choices. She is failing to tame a bull, which will lead to her ruin.
